So its 0-2 in the male female glamour department, yay?

While the numbers are clearly not "fair", I'm still at a loss as far as what could really be made to equalize the numbers. Male specific outfits aren't exactly abundant in relation to female specific outfits IRL, as far as sources go.

While male numbers may not equal female numbers in real life, this is a game and not real life. So when they design outfits, they can choose to focus more on females, more on males, or equally on both. What they have done so far is focus more of female exclusive outfits. In the case of the Thavnarian sets: One was female focused, one male focused, but they made the first female specific and the second female equippable, instead of male specific. So the effort was there on both outfits, but one was locked to a gender. That is what I'm saying with numbers.

I guess since you're going based on numbers, you'd be happy if bucket armors were male exclusive, that sort of thing?

That is not remotely what I am saying. I'm saying that when they put out new outfits, that they can either be equipped by both genders (altered or not), or have one for each gender.

You may not care about most outfits, or the style of them, but you have the options. Males do not compared to the females, and that is what I'm talking about. Style is subjective, what you may think looks terrible someone else may love. Again, its not about what is male specific in look, but what male characters can equip. I don't care what looks masculine or feminine. I want to be able to wear it.

I mean, imagine someone like Vin Diesel in something like the bunny outfit or something Katy Perry would wear. Humorous, but not exactly appeasing to the eyes for nearly everyone, including much of the gay community.

There are plenty of current outfits that people don't like already in the game. Some people hate tanks that wear swimsuit gear. There are people who think that skimpy cloths on both male and female characters look bad. The outfits still exist in the game, and its a fact of life that someone will have an outfit that someone else doesn't like.

Besides that, the concept of "playing barbie", as some folks would say, isn't exactly fun to a lot of male gamers. Mind you, that's an extremely ignorant outlook for many obvious reasons, but it's still one that many (dominantly) male gamers stick to when it comes to attire, but not how the customization of the character model looks, hypocritically.

But there is a large enough outcry that people are still talking about it and complaining about the lack of fair options. This is only one of the many threads that have been made over the past few weeks. So there is an interest in having different options.

Again, I agree that making the currently gender locked options unisex would be the best in my opinion, what I'm more upset about is the fact that there is a very obvious favoritism that I want to change.
